What should you run on VM1?

HOTSPOT
You have a Hyper-V host named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. Server1 has two network adaptors named NIC1 and NIC2. Server2 has two virtual switches named vSwitch1 and vSwitch2. NIC connects to Switch1. NIC2 connects to vSwitch2.
Server1 hosts a virtual machine named VM1. VM1 has two network adapters named vmNIC1 and vmNIC2. VmNIC1 connects to vSwitch1. VmNIC2 connects to vSwitch2. You need to create a NIC team on VM1.

  1. $var1 = “SwitchIndependent”

    $var2 = “TransportPorts”

    Network configuration requirements
    The physical switch, Hyper-V Virtual Switch, local area network (LAN), and NIC Teaming requirements for creating a NIC Team in a VM are:
    The computer that is running Hyper-V must have two or more network adapters.
    If the network adapters are connected to multiple physical switches, the physical switches must be on the same Layer 2 subnet.
    You must use Hyper-V Manager or Windows PowerShell commands to create two external Hyper-V Virtual Switches, each of which is connected to a different
    physical network adapter.
    The VM in which you want to configure NIC Teaming must be connected to both external virtual switches that you create.
    The Windows Server 2016 NIC Teaming solution supports teams with two members in VMs. Larger teams can be created but such teams are not supported.
    NIC Teams within a VM must have their Teaming mode configured as Switch Independent.
    In addition, Load Balancing mode for the NIC Team in a VM must be configured with the Address Hash distribution mode.

    “–LoadBalancingAlgorithm TransportPorts” option sses the source and destination TCP ports and the IP addresses to create a hash and then assigns the packets
    that have the matching hash value to one of the available interfaces.
